My dog used to howl when my brother played Britney Spears. He very much liked Beniamino Gigli singing arie antiche though.

Check this thread for a better way to fix room correction (with optional crosstalk reduction), that equipment deserve it: Roon & Home Audio Fidelity (Room Correction / convolution filter creation)
Thanks , Magnus , I’ll give it a try . I’ve used a number of software/hardware -based room correction systems . The only full-spectrum solution I really liked was from Tact Audio which incorporated room correction in their preamp . It was cumbersome , time-consuming and required connection to a fairly robust computer to work effectively but , at least for me , did the job .
DSpeaker was recommended to me by MBL and it corrected a bass problem that I couldn’t fix with crossover adjustments .
New Innuos Zenith SE Music Server Installed.
24hrs in and it sounds fantastic feeding a SONORE microRend 1.4 (+ LPS-1) and Chord Hugo TT

@Paul_Barrow Nice setup, can I ask why you have chosen to go from the Innuos Zenith SE to a microrendu then Hugo TT, did you try the Zenith SE direct to the Hugo TT?

Thanks Russ,
The Innuos has replaced an iMac with which I was using the microRendu, so I’ve set it up in the same way. I briefly tried the direct USB connection but only with a cheap USB cable, and I couldn’t really hear much if any difference.
Once the Innuos has had a chance to burn in I’ll give it another try. I’m hoping to borrow a decent USB cable.

I have heard the Zenith SE, I think you will be very impressed with it and be able to release your microrendu for a new zone 
Are you using the Zenith for storage, if so did you have an SSD fitted as opposed to a hard drive.
Well it’s sounding great already so i’m looking forward to hearing what it can do with direct USB. Cutting out boxes, cables and PSU’s would be great as I prefer simple.
I’m looking for recommendations on USB cables? I was thinking of Curious as I’ve seen some very positive comments.
Yes my library is on the Zenith and the SE comes with SSD anyway.
I had a small software issue this morning and emailed Innuos support at 6:45am and had a response shortly after. By 9am Nuno from Innuos (Owner and Director) had connected on a remote session and sorted it out. Brilliant service and on a Saturday!!

I have met Nuno and am not at all surprised by his excellent attitude he is a genuinely nice person, as for cables I use a Tellurium Q Silver usb cable and am very pleased with the results, I also have a curious usb but preferred the Tellurium Q.
I have no vested interest with Tellurium Q

Very nice.
What do you do for power for those ARCs?
The whole hifi is on a separate power line from the rest of the house - doesn’t go through the fuze box either. No filtering for the ARCs, only Valhalla power cables on them (does make a difference!)
Living Roon, I see what you did there 
Just purchased an iPad stand, very pleased with it, pictures below.
I have no connection with the company but if you are curious here is a link to the Yohann website
